Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 402 Watershed

Scholars rioted and protested against scholars every time, but this time it ended like a joke. The front team of workers rushed in. No matter what, Song Qingshu thought that there would be a violent conflict, but he didn't wait for him to catch up. To clean up the mess, tens of thousands of scholars have already collapsed and slipped out from both sides of the square. When he came, there were still two hundred or so unlucky people who were forced to the Jinshui Bridge at the gate of the palace and dared not come out. They all cried out in fright.

Really echoed the old saying, if a scholar rebels, he will fail in three years!It’s no wonder that most of the intellectuals and scholars in Ming Dynasty today are almost corrupt. Even if Donglin Academy and Fushe give lectures on Cheng Zhu’s Neo-Confucianism, except for a few, they can really apply the principle of “eliminating human desires and preserving nature” in life. There are a few more. The Donglin Party, which was originally formed with a rigorous academic atmosphere, is now more like a political group that pursues interests. The scholars are either bored in the study room with poor heads and poor books. , Where have I seen such a big battle with real guns and live ammunition?

When the Qing army came, even Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin, was able to surrender. A lot of gentlemen who had returned to society should have their hair shaved off.

There are indeed some really tough ones, such as Xia Wanchun, Chen Zilong, and Ma Shiying. Unfortunately, the proportion is too small, and the struggle with Song Qingshu has not risen to the level of perishing the world that Gu Yanwu said. These people did not come to meddle. Just not to fight so hard.

After receiving the news from Pei Tai, Song Qingshu was so rushed that he even threw away his carriage and came here on horseback. For such a large-scale protest, 30 people, not to mention Suzaku Square, were crowded with two nearby streets. After a long time, Niang's guarding father-in-law, Pei Tai, squeezed over as if seeing the organization, and held on to Song Qingshu's hand without letting go.

"Master Song, you are here, please hurry up and take these mobs away! If this storms into the palace, everyone's heads will be lost!"

It is true that Song Qingshu provoked the matter, but at this time, he could not admit the blame, and withdrew his hand, he quickly argued with a straight face: "Today, there is a villain who slandered me and stood up in response to the anger of the righteous and the people. Song is really grateful , but this person was not recruited by Song, if you say that, Song will have nothing to do!"

Pei Tai was also killed by politicians. Song Qingshu couldn't understand what he said. This person can be persuaded to leave, but the tone has to be set. It is a scholar who slandered the government, and it has nothing to do with his surname Song. This report It is clear who the court board falls on!

But anyway, he didn't deal with the Sixth Department of Nanjing, and at this moment, something happened in the Ministry of Rites of the Ruthless King, he slapped his ass and ran away, and his teeth were itchy with hatred.

"Yes, yes, what Master Song said is absolutely true! As long as these mobs, no, these righteous people disperse, the miscellaneous family will immediately write to His Majesty, and Zhang Pu, Hou Fangyu, these bastards who are messing around and slandering the government will be arrested, and none will be left behind! "

It is enough to have this promise, with a smile on his face, Song Qingshu patted his chest confidently: "Okay, father-in-law Gao Yi, then Song will give it a try and talk to the righteous people."

"Master Song, please!"

To be honest, there are no microphones these days, and 30 people are holding up banners and protesting, shouting everything, and it is not easy to calm them down. Fortunately, Song Qingshu has already prepared, and the special two-kick cannon fights one The big platoon was fired right at the front of the crowd. The sound was not much weaker than that of a cannon. When twenty of them fired together, the bang bang sound made people's ears buzz. Suddenly, it was really loud. The excited crowd stopped and looked forward one by one in astonishment.

Later generations climbed the Ming city wall and got 60 yuan. This time, the Song Qingshu was smeared, but it was free to climb the city gate building, and it was the original Ming city wall. It was originally built by Ming Taizu to inspect the army and hold ceremonies. It has a sound amplification effect, fearing that it would not be enough, Song Qingshu ordered someone to move up a dozen or so copper-skinned speakers, and when he spoke, the entire Suzaku Square could hear it clearly.

"Fathers and folks, I am Song Qingshu!"

This sentence also suppressed the subsequent commotion. Song Qingshu wandered around his factory when he had nothing to do, and there was a big photo of him hanging in the factory. Hearing this voice, some union members or old workers immediately patted their thighs excitedly.

"What a handsome man!"

"Look, the commander is on the city wall!"

Isn't his popularity not bad?Hearing the cries one after another, Song Qingshu felt elated in his heart, but on his face he still had the serious appearance of the three fat people in a meeting, and said solemnly.

"You Xiaoxiao slandered me, and there is indeed such a thing. Thanks to everyone's old-fashioned heart and righteous words, Song is extremely grateful!"

"However, the imperial court has its own rules. The emperor's eyes are sharp, and the father-in-law's eyes are also sharp. Eunuch Pei has already confirmed with Song that this time it is purely slander and slander. The father-in-law will soon write a letter to impeach those treacherous scholars. Long live Your Majesty, father-in-law is wise!"

The struggle was won, my job was saved, and Yu'er's band was also saved. Listening to Song Qingshu's loud and clear shouts, the crowd of more than 30 protesters below also shouted excitedly.

"Long live Your Majesty! Eunuch is wise! Long live Your Majesty, Eunuch is wise!"

Not to mention, this time I also flattered Pei Tai. Guarding eunuchs has always been a symbol of greed and viciousness. It is the first time guarding eunuchs is so popular. The eunuch also smiled and waved his hands downward.

"It should be done, everything should be done, long live Your Majesty!"

This shouting lasted for about 5 minutes, and then it was suppressed by Song Qingshu's waving hand. He came out to help him support the situation, and naturally it couldn't be for nothing. After the shouting subsided, Song Qingshu shouted loudly again.

"This time, Eunuch Pei, the guardian of the township, saw everyone's enthusiasm, and suggested that Song, today and tomorrow, three days later, the factory will have a paid holiday! Tomorrow night, I will fund another concert for you on the banks of the Qinhuai River. This time Not only Yu'er and the others will sing, but the owner of Meilou, Mr. Gu, will also bring their long-rehearsed large-scale musical, "The Prosperity of the Qinhuai River"!"

This is really a great blessing. In order to make Pei Tai do things obediently, Song Qingshu mentioned Pei Tai again, and the workers present shouted even more excitedly.

"The handsome is wise! The father-in-law is wise!"

He never thought that he would be so popular one day. Hearing the fanatical shouts from below, Pei Tai was moved to tears, as if he really did something, and waved his hands down again and again.

"It should be, everything should be!"

"Please obey the order, leave the venue one by one under the leadership of the trade union, don't crowd, don't trample, pay attention to personal safety..."

Song Qingshu's voice sounded like a radio broadcast. This massive riot with more than 30 people dispersed in just half a day, but it was not completely unharmed. I don't know how many workers were trampled and twisted their ankles. Fortunately, I can rest tomorrow, so don’t worry, the ones who suffered the most were those protesting scholars. The two unlucky ghosts were directly taken to Yingtian Hospital after suffering from sulfuric acid, and the remaining 100 people were full of rotten eggs and vegetables. The scholar also retreated in despair.

This riot is not only a confrontation with the Donglin Party, but also marks a watershed. 11 years ago in Chongzhen, these Donglin scholars and scholars represented the interests of urbanized small citizens and the mine supervisors of the Eunuch Party. After the incident, the emerging bourgeoisie represented by the Jiaduobao Company replaced the landlord intellectuals and became the representatives of the interests of the majority of small and medium-sized citizens and urban residents. The public opinion in Nanzhili was transferred from the Donglin Party to the Song Qingshu. This influence continues to extend to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This incident also caused a split in the Jiangnan literary world, but this is another story.

The next day, most of the factories were on holiday, and for the first time the streets were filled with the working class. It was also the first time, and the spending power of these workers was also revealed. The factories distributed food, and most of their wages could be saved. Many workers were single. , It’s rare to take a break, so I took the opportunity to meet up and play petty bourgeoisie. Naturally, what I did was shopping, but the scholars who usually swaggered through the market were like plague chickens, stuck in the academy or at home, embarrassed to come out again.

Of course, there are always exceptions. Shrinking in a small alley, the originally neat Confucian robes are covered with a military coat produced by Daixian County, and a dog fur hat is worn on the head to cover it up. Those who knew him probably couldn't believe it, this is one of the dignified four princes in the late Ming Dynasty, the famous Hou Fangyu.

With his head shrunk and his arms tucked into his sleeves in a rustic manner, Hou Fangyu squatted in the corner as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden. After waiting for a long time, the sound of light footsteps came from the alley.The little girl who came in was obviously much more fashionable than Hou Fangyu. She wore a bright red embroidered windbreaker shawl, jeans that were popular this year, and even wore a pair of black crystal sunglasses. what a difference.

"Xiang'er!"

Standing up, Hou Fangyu immediately stepped forward with some excitement, and held Li Xiangjun's hand, but unlike the previous excitement, this time Li Xiangjun pulled his hand out unnaturally, as if he lowered his head with a guilty conscience, Some asked dryly.

"Hou, Mr. Hou, the things have been put away. This time, can you take me away?"

Hou Fangyu didn't notice Li Xiangjun's unnaturalness, so he shook his head apologetically.

"I'm sorry Xiang'er, I can't take you away this time! Something went wrong and I couldn't defeat Bandit Song!"

"Xiang'er, I, I hope, I hope you can stay by Song thief's side?"

"You, you want me to commit myself to him?" This time, Li Xiangjun's voice was even filled with a lot of excitement, and he asked Hou Fangyu in astonishment, but Hou Fangyu who asked was even more blushing, and after a moment of silence, he was just dry explained.

"Only in this way can we get close to Song thief, steal information, and create opportunities for one day to defeat him as a traitor. Xiang'er, I know you are wronged, but for the sake of justice, please!"

"Don't worry, as long as Song Thief can be defeated, I, I will definitely marry you! I will never despise you!" Hou Fangyu once again stretched out his hand excitedly to grab Li Xiangjun's hand, but this time Li Xiangjun simply took a step back , away from him.

"I see!"
